The Truth About My Scars

I wear my scars like a badge of pride.
They'll be with me forever
but every single scar I own
screams out to the world "I SURVIVED!"
Maybe I'm no innocent
when it comes to pain
but I'm strong enough to face my fears,
I'll live to fight again.
Now, I do regret slicing into my skin-
it's changed how I see everyone else
but it's a form of self-medication
and I only used it to save myself.
